Sudan Gambling

Sudanese Gambling Laws

Gambling is illegal in Sudan due to Islam being the
primary religion. Islam teaches that gambling is evil
and forbids followers from engaging in the practice.

Sudan Information

Sudan is the largest country in Africa and is the
tenth largest country in the world. It is bordered by
Egypt, Kenya, Uganda, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Chad, Libya,
Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of
Congo.

Considered the most unstable country in the world,
Sudan has been riddled with problems for years. Due to
their aggressive Islamic stance, many of their neighbors
(along with the international community) have had
trouble dealing with Sudan. In fact, they are also
considered a state sponsor of terrorism, and American
companies have been barred from doing business with them
since 1997.

Clashes between rebels and government forces in the
Darfur region have resulted in what many call the worst
humanitarian crisis of the 21st century. Arab militias
have been charged with bringing order to the area, but
these forces have been accused of engaging in genocide,
rape and theft. Hundreds of thousands have been
displaced, and the death toll is estimated between
200,000 and 400,000.

80% of the country�s workforce is devoted to the
pursuit of agriculture, but farms are vulnerable to both
floods and drought. But despite chronic instability and
American sanctions, the Sudanese economy is listed as
one of the fastest growing in the world.

The population is estimated to be 37 million, but
civil war has made accurate record keeping difficult.

Sudan is home to over 597 different tribes, and over
400 different dialects are spoken. The official
languages of the country are Arabic and English.

75% of the country follows the teachings of Islam.
15% to 20% follow indigenous beliefs, and a 5% minority
follows Christianity.
